I will have Old Joseph (Stardust Crusaders) for this.
SWEET!! :D!! never enough oldseph! added you to the list. ;D
More updates: 17 confirmed to attend the gathering as can be seen on the FB event page! Many more interested, so we just gotta keep this thread alive and hope for our time slots to not be filled. :) bumpity bump!
My husband 2D Mirage will be doing Oldseph, and I'm still deciding on either Lisa Lisa or Dio Brando.
I'm going to be working on a Yoshikage Kira as Kosaku (Bites The Dust) Cosplay so I'll for sure go once I get it done!
not many new updates to add, although pls check out the facebook event listed if possible!
i'm thinking i might go as gyro to the gathering though, i love him so much!
totally changed my mind because I just finished reading SBR :'( i'm going as Gyro to the gathering! hoorah! pls let there be johnnys for me to carry♥
oh man, I sure hope the gathering is finalized for Sunday, as there is stuff alrdy going on fo me Saturday. If it does get finalized for Sunday, i'ma bring PT3 Glitterfied Jotaro to this (yes you've read that right; my Jotato attire is heavily covered in glitter, as it's appropriate cuz all Joestars are fab AF!)
GLITTERFIED!? AWESOME!! Honestly I would like to have it on Saturday since it's usually the day with the most going on but I guess then yeah, Sunday would be good. I can have another poll on the Facebook event group if you'd like!
ehhhh, you could do that if you want & keeping pushing for Saturday. Not a big deal to me to have it either day; i was just expressing very mild interest in another gathering going on at the desired same time as this one.
Heyooo!! I'm so glad to see that there will be a JJBA gathering! I'll be going as Ultimate Kars (technically fem!Kars cuz I gotta cover my boobs lmao). If possible, and I hope this isn't imposing too much, might we be able to move the date to Sunday? I'd like to go to the LoL gathering on Saturday since I have a Kindred cosplay as well.
Thank youuuu!
Hey guys!! I put Sunday afternoon 2pm as our second choice because not many people responded here or on the Facebook group, but if they contact me and offer a choice I'll go ahead and pick Sunday, no biggie :D
But also NEWS - just submitted the gathering form! *poses*
Can't have a con without a Jojo gathering y'KNOW WHAT I MEAN! :D
Alrighty, guys! So the coordinator of gatherings contacted me and we'll be holding it in the same location as last year, G9. Still shooting for Sunday ~2pm. :)
I'm going to start sewing my shirt and cape for Gyro soon!! :|!!!! I'm a total noob but my roommate is helping me! Can't wait to share some progress pics. I also finally got my wigs for Gyro so I can stop costesting in the ugly yellow one I have :'D
I really hope this gathering can take place on Saturday. If I can make it, I'll be going as Reimi Sugimoto!
So I got into all this craziness literally less than a week ago, and I'm already planning my first cosplay from it.
As long as this doesn't conflict with anything else (panels I'm giving, changing out of my rather difficult costume for the Final Fantasy gathering on Saturday morning), I should be there as Lisa Lisa. Probably doing her red zoot suit when she's in the gondolier disguise.
Saturday afternoon would be easier for me than Sunday, but I can probably work around it either way.
I'm for sure doing Lisa Lisa instead of Dio. Just thought I'd update. :)
I will be going in as Narancia.
BIG UPDATE OH MY GOSH!
Our time slot/location has been filled!
THE JJBA GATHERING WILL TAKE PLACE SUNDAY, MAY 28, 2PM @ LOCATION G6!
Also, I added everyone who replied on the cosplayers list. Cheers! :D
nyoho if anyone is going as johnny and interested in shippy photos, pls dm me! gyjo is otp for life and i am trash~
FANIME IS COMING UP QUICK! who else is behind on cosplays? :'D
I'm going to be cosplaying as Guidoooo Mistaaaa but not sure if I'll be there at Sunday as him, hope I can!
I'll be going as Koichi and I should have a Yukako with me as well. :D
I'll be going as the great Kishibe Rohan.
So excited for this gathering! It'll be my first JoJo gathering since getting into the series haha ;7; I'll be there as a casual Narancia! (hopefully my friend will pull out Mista for me)
I already confirmed I will be attending on the FB post but I'm going as SDC Jotaro
